N/A.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of firearm stands,and more particularly to devices, methods, and systems for organizing orstoring a firearm with one or more firearm magazines.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Use of semi-automatic pistols for practice at a pistol range oftenrequires organization of multiple pistols along with the relevantammunition, typically loaded in pistol magazines that are specific toeach make and model of pistol.

When practicing with multiple pistols of different makes and models,this can create an unwanted level of disorganization, when all thedifferent pistols and pistol magazines are laid out on a table in frontof the person practicing on the pistol range.

As such, considering the foregoing, it may be appreciated that therecontinues to be a need for novel and improved devices and methods forstoring and organizing pistols and magazines at a firing range.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The foregoing needs are met, to a great extent, by the presentinvention, wherein in aspects of this invention, enhancements areprovided to the existing model of storing and organizing pistols andmagazines.

In an aspect, a pistol table stand system, can include:

-   -   a) at least one pistol, including a hollow pistol grip, which        includes a magazine cavity;    -   b) at least one pistol magazine, comprising an inner portion;    -   c) a pistol table stand, including:        -   a bottom plate;        -   at least one magazine holder,            -   further comprising a cavity, which can be accessible via                an upper opening,                -   wherein the at least one magazine holder can be                    connected to an upper side of the bottom plate, such                    that the at least one magazine holder protrudes                    upward from the bottom plate; and        -   at least one pistol holder, which can be an elongated member            that is connected to the upper side of the bottom plate,            such that the at least one pistol holder protrudes upward            from the bottom plate;            -   wherein the cavity accepts the inner portion of the at                least one pistol magazine, such that the at least one                pistol magazine can be removably positioned in the at                least one magazine holder;        -   wherein the at least one pistol holder accepts the hollow            pistol grip of the at least one pistol, such that the hollow            pistol grip can slide over the at least one pistol holder,            such that the at least one pistol can be removably            positioned on the at least one pistol holder;        -   whereby the pistol table stand can store and organize the at            least one pistol and the at least one pistol magazine.
